- avaer 9y agoAmusingly, this does answer the parent question.
- izacus 9y agoBut I'm not, so I'm not allowed to. I wouldn't have a problem with it if I could - paying for ad-free YouTube with added features seems like a fair deal to me.
- noisem4ker 9y agoI wouldn't call "letting me turn off the screen or switch to another application while still consuming media" an "additional feature". Especially since they must go out of their way in the first place to detect when that is happening and to prevent me from doing so, as they do on their mobile website.
- nol13 9y agoCurious to know if with youtube red, if i play in the background is it smart enough to switch to an audio only stream, or still full bandwidth?
- noisem4ker 9y agoGood question. As they normally serve their content as separate audio and video streams, it should be perfectly feasible to do that. I wouldn't bet on it, however.
- arjie 9y agoI believe if you use the Youtube Music app to play things, you'll get audio only.
